Is it pronounced "mates" or "em-eights"? Asking for a friend.

My vote is on "mates" btw.
I think it's "micro nets", like your own tiny little internet.
My bad, I was referring to the cmd line "m8s". I should have made that clear.
For the long form though, I like @NickCraver's suggestion.
Maybe that should be "mets"? Like the greatest sports team that ever lived
Sorry, I just don't see how "m8s" == "mets" 🤷♂
Ooooh I missed the rename, alrighty I'm on board with "mates", though it sounds like someone's building a buddy system...possibly for peer reviews.
Not many people know this, the “m” is silent
Feature request: Rename CLI command to gdaym8s
I can't tell if everyone conspired on Twitter to troll @davidfowl aka BarbadianMachineNeverStopsCoding and see if they can distract him / stop him.
It’s clearly “mateys”, with a pirate accent
I think we should address the root cause of Damian's confusion on pronunciation: you have a typo in the project name. It should have been MicroNates.
In Italian, it would read mottos
m8s --> mmmm.mmmm
m88 suffices
m8s = mates = (mu)chachos / µchachos
seriously though @davidfowl , never tell anyone how to pronounce it because that's the day this will end up in someone's production environment and all hell will break loose... :D
